Herb Crust Lamb Rub

Ingredients & ratio

tsp = teaspoon / cucchiaino

Lavender is powerful — never exceed half a part or it dominates everything

Preparation

1. Crush the rosemary and lavender in a mortar before mixing to release the essential oils.
2. Combine with remaining ingredients.
3. Apply generously on all surfaces of the cold lamb from the fridge.
4. Rest in the fridge uncovered for 2–4 hours before cooking.
5. Cook straight from cold.

Notes

Use food-grade culinary lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) only. Decorative or perfume lavender is not safe for consumption. Lavender amplifies during cooking — start with less.
